Examples of what would cause a child to be placed in orphanages were when the parents were deceased. Orphanage home is a residential institution, or group home, devoted to the care of orphans and other children who were separated from their biological families. Orphans should be recognised and taken to the closest motherless babies home/ orphanage home. Short courses on problem identification and counselling should also be organised for guardians and community development workers.
Teachers should be trained on how to diagnose psychosocial problems and given skills to manage them. Since there’s no parent or parent factor to guide them aright and guard their excesses, the teachers in the school are left with extra work to discharge. Loss of hope, sadness and helplessness are some of what makes the orphans run into depression fast. Of course, the quality of their life deteriorated drastically. These children knew how things used to be when their parents were alive and seeing the reverse happen is too much a thing to bear. This orphanhood period makes some children run into depression as a result of too much thinking. Majority of them become so wild and untrained because they lacked the proper home training.īad traits which ought to be corrected almost immediately now becomes their everyday character, and they see nothing bad in it. Orphans are charged with the responsibilities of catering for themselves, providing shelter and other basic things of life due to the death of their parents which makes it even more challenging. This really leaves a great hole in their heart. Some orphaned children have a record of incidences in their memory that can never be forgotten, especially when the parents died by a ghastly motor accident or by something unexpected. Emotional trauma is seen in the area of them starting to take up tasks meant for adult, or doing things their parents ought to be doing for them due to their disposed state.
